Here are a few post cards I made.

oh my they are so nice...what fun!

Wow, those are really nice!

Wow, those are really nice!

I really want to make some... Do you use the stiff interfacing?
I think tha twould be the greatist little thing to send to the Gkids!

I've always been curious about what the point is of the postcards - do you actually mail them, or are they just little decorative items?

I made quite a few as gifts for my friends here on the board when they very kindly donated heaps of fabric to my quilting group while I was living in Spain.

Here's a link to the topic with pictures galore!! Enjoy!

Keep scrolling down as I added several additional pictures of most of the postcards I sent out :-D

I've made quite a few and have successfully mailed them to my Mom with no problems...

Those are so cute!

I haven't made any yet but they are on my list.

The postcards are sew cute!!

I think postcards are darling and hope to take the time to make some for special occassions to come. thank you for sharing yours..

cool, haven't made them yet

Here's one I made several years ago when I was trying Ricky Tims' convergence technique. I do small samples before I try big stuff. I don't like to waste fabric if I'm not enjoying the technique. I felt like it wasn't pretty enough to send to anyone ;-)

I used stiff interfacing on the back.

I made the card front first, then edge stitched the interfacing onto the front.

I have used stiff interfacing and also canvas..most lately I have glue cardstock to the back so I can add messages to my granddaughter...mine i put into envelopes to be sure they stay neat and clean..she is only going to be 3 this summer..

you can mail them...they need to be handcanceled and a regular stamp

Thanks they are all wonderful!!

We did an exchange last year! I had never made one before I loved it. I was the lucky recipient of Izy's "Bell Flower" :thumbup:

I have one that I mailed to my sister in 1995 postmark clearly visible. She returned it for another one! Making postcards for sale at the quilt museum, lobsters are going fast. I use the lightweight stiffener, fuse the stamped fabric back on and the fused front. Then cover the front with Misty fuse and tulle and fuse the dickens out of it before satin stitching the edges. Quick and easy. Need to figure out how to post the pictures in this spot instead of the general spot, or will post in the general spot later today.

Figured it out! Here are the three best sellers.

These look very dimensional. How do they go through the mail. A clear envelope?

Identa pen or other fabric marker for the address and message then a stamp and they take it over the counter at the Post Office since it can't go through the machines.
